Macocha Abbys (located in the Czech Repubic) is the deepest gorge in the Central Europe. It is 465 feet deep and underground river Punkva runs thru it. Opened to the public since 1914 the word "macocha" means "stepmother". As the legend has is a woman threw her stepchild into the Abbys but the little boy survived by grabbing a bush on the way down. He was rescued by lumberjacks and angry villagers responded by giving the stepmother taste of her own medicine.She did not survive the fall.
All photos taken with a pocket p&s Panasonic TZ3.

You can arrive to the Macocha in style with this "train".

Traveling gives one an education you cannot get in a classroom. Great photos and a story to go with them.

Well, when you have "wondering" feet and the means to carry it out, life is good. Hope to see some of your 'Kick the Bucket' BEST shots here in the Gallery from time to time.
Those of us who are smitten by the shutterbug count on others to help us see the nooks and crannies of the USA and the world.
